Yesterday I received my shipment of Zaino products (previously a McGuire's user)- and decided to compare... I have a graphite colored RT/10 - and there was a major difference. I was hesitant at first because you could barely notice any hazing while Zaino was drying. But, in the end - it definately had a wet glassy look - so I imagine it will be easier to clean in the future. Strangely enough - it looked much different than my other wax - the silver specs in the silver really stood out.
Another trick I did was with Windex on the rims. I do have EBCs on the front - but after a couple hundred miles they definately needed a cleaning. So, decided to try the Windex idea. It worked absolutely great - I bet it took me less than 1 minute per rim - and they look as if they were carefully polished.
And the last thing - I used the Zaino tire cleaner for the rubber... Much like the wax - the more coats you put on - the wetter they look. Was very happy - compared to my old - more time consuming cleaning tasks.
Now they need to offer a class at the university to determine which one of the 4,374 flavors of Zaino to apply in what order! I used Z2 and Z5 - always ending with Z2 since it is finer...
So, if you haven't, someone else try Windex on the rims and notice how easy it is... Even my girlfriend walked by my car this morning on the way to work - and stopped... Not being a Viper enthusiast - getting her to stop and stare at it was an accomplishment... She thought it looked better than new... She also asked if I got some kind of Zaino product for the rims - then I told her about Windex...
Anyways, great product... Spendy - but good...
